The general probability is 1/8. For it to be applicable to 32 women, one must multiply 4 to the numerator and denominator.

The final probability would be (1x4)/(8x4) which is 4/32.

Therefore, 4 women would be the answer.

Answer:

4 feet of wall should be on each side of the painting.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a 4 foot wide painting should be centered on a 12 foot wide wall, to determine how many feet (X) should be on each side of the painting, the following equation must be solved:

(Total wide of the wall - wide of the painting) / 2 = X

(12 - 4) / 2 = X

8/2 = X

4 = X

Therefore, 4 feet of wall should be on each side of the painting.

The formula for a trapezoid relates the area A, the two bases, a and b, and the height, h. A=h ( a+b ) 2 Solve for b.
Lelu [443]
I believe the right equation for determining the area of a trapezoid is as below,
     A = h(a + b)/2

To determine the expression for b which is the length of one of its bases, we multiply the equation by 2.
    
    2A = h(a + b)

Then, divide both sides of the equation by h,

    2A/h = a + b

Then, subtract a from both sides of the equation,
    2A/h - a = b

Lastly, interchange the sides of the equation to reveal the answer.
<em>     </em>
<em>   b = 2A/h - a </em>

5π/12 = (5 · 180°) : 12 = 75°
cos 75° = cos ( 45° + 30° )= cos 45° cos 30° - sin 45° sin 30° =
=√2/2 * √3/2 - √2/2 * 1/2 = \frac{ \sqrt{6} }{4} - \frac{ \sqrt{2} }{4}= \frac{ \sqrt{6} - \sqrt{2} }{4}
